If you have experienced any trauma or distress in your life (and let’s be honest, we can’t get through this life without experiencing something even a little scarring), this powerhouse essential oil blend is a must. Trauma Life Essential Oil Blend by Young Living.
As a survivor of severe trauma, it has been very important to me to have effective and nurturing tools to safely release trapped emotions, reprocess surfacing trauma, and sooth triggers, flashbacks, sleep disturbances and other trauma symptoms. While reprocessing traumatic experiences in therapy, Trauma Life has always played a major role in keeping me firmly grounded in the present while also allowing safe release of allllll the really intense emotions and memories associated with trauma.
Trauma Life contains main ingredients that are known to offer emotional and spiritual support, such as, royal Hawaiian sandalwood, frankincense, valerian, black spruce, davana, lavender, geranium, kaffir lime and rose.
The woodsy aromas of sandalwood, frankincense, and black spruce are incredibly grounding, refreshing and soothing. The lavender, rose and geranium add a subtle, yet uplifting touch of floral aroma. And davana? Davana adds a mysterious, warm, fruity undertone that seems to touch and bring out the long-stiffled parts of myself: innocent, child-like joy, mature and knowing connection to my truest self.
Bonus information about davana! Davana is often offered to Shiva, the Hindu god whose responsibilities are to create, protect and transform all that is in the universe. The name “Shive” connotes “liberation, final emancipation, revealer, concealer, sacredness, killer of the forces of darkness, teacher of Yoga, teaches in silences the oneness of one’s innermost self.” I cannot think of a more fitting ingredient to be included in a blend meant for supporting those on the path of healing past and present trauma.
